Novak Djokovic inches closer to most weeks as World No. 1 on all-time list

That means that Djokovic is now only 39 weeks as the number one player in the world away from breaking the all-time record held by Steffi Graff. Djokovic is already the ATP player with the most weeks as world number one as he surpassed Roger Federer some time ago. Now he is in the hunt for the all-time record held by Steffi Graff at 377 weeks.

Djokovic is certain to hold his number one ranking for the rest of the 2021 season thanks to a lot of points won at the Grand Slams. Daniil Medvedev is in pursuit but the difference sits at around 1500 points and that seems insurmountable for Medvedev especially with the Russian defending a lot of points heading for the rest of the year.
